Chromebooks dropping off wifi randomly

Project Member Reported by yye...@google.com, Jan 12 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 55
OS: ChromeOS

Network:
Aruba AP 225 - firmware 6.4.4.8-4.2.4.4
Aerohive AP’s (141, 170, 230,350).

Device Model:
Dell 11 Chromebooks

Description:
Enterprise customer is seeing Chromebooks drop from the wifi randomly... anywhere from 5 min to an hour after successful connection.

Going through the logs I see a large amount of the following errors: 

log/messages:2017-01-03T08:28:50.671760-08:00 ERR p2p-client[14713]: last message repeated 19 times 

Which usually ends in: 

log/messages:2017-01-03T08:29:17.844929-08:00 ERR shill[1680]: [ERROR:active_link_monitor.cc(222)] Link monitor has reached the failure threshold with 5 broadcast failures and 0 unicast failures. 

and then... 

ERR shill[1680]: [ERROR:object_proxy.cc(582)] Failed to call method: fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.Disconnect: object_path= /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/1: fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.NotConnected: This interface is not connected 


It looks like p2p-client is flooding the wifi adapter causing the disconnect?

PII protected logs:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6fESMmJITTNUU93VmJHd1JTQTA?usp=sharing


What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) connect to wifi/SSID
(2) randomly disconnects


What is the expected result?
stable wifi connection

What happens instead?
random disconnect

I see a few "skip - SSID mismatch" messages in the logs.  Not sure if they are of any interest?

Any update on this one? The customer reached out once more.
Im experiencing the same thing on Beta.
Has there been any updates on this issue?  We have had a very high volumes of intermittent wifi issues on these devices.  We have tried a powerwash, reloading via a thumb drive using the chrome OS recovery utility, the Dell proprietary RMA shim, non of which have resolved.  Replacement WIFI cards have not seemed to correct either.

I'm experiencing this issue on a Dell 13 7310, only when I use Google Meet.  Not sure if this is still a valid bug.
